Bacterial growth in airway mucus secretion (AMS) prepared from primary culture of human tracheal tissues. The wild type PAO1 and its two mutants, ΔbamB and ΔfabY, were grown in three separate AMS preparations for 16 h. Aliquots of each culture were diluted and plated for CFU quantification. The values for CFU in16h / CFU inoculum were calculated and plotted as the growth index. Bacterial cultures were performed in triplicate, and the mean ± SD values are displayed. *P < 0.05 vs. CFU of PAO1 cells.
